YOU’RE SPECIAL
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC).
Being born again, you’re special, you’re royalty. You’re different because you carry the very life of God within you. This isn’t a mere religious idea; it’s reality. Hallelujah! You have eternal life in you, and that makes you a dispenser of eternal verities. It helps to understand why the Lord Jesus said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17-18).
This shows that you’re not ordinary; you’re to impact others with the life and nature of God in you. You’re a blessing. Remember what God said to Abraham; He said, “I’ll bless you and make you a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). And the Bible says, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made…” (Galatians 3:16); we’re the seed of Abraham.
Don’t see yourself as one of the masses or among the needy; you are a king-priest. The Lord Jesus chose you out of the world (John 15:19); you’re not a commoner. You were handpicked by God as His peculiar treasure. Carry this consciousness. Even now, declare: “I’m special. I’m royalty. I’m God’s peculiar treasure; excellent and full of glory.” Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for choosing me and setting me apart as your peculiar treasure. I walk in the consciousness that I’m royalty, full of your life, excellence and glory. I’m a blessing to my world, a dispenser of eternal verities, and through me many discover their identity and purpose in Christ. I’m bold, unwavering and effective in this calling, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
